A school in Catford will hold lessons on the growing influence of social media personality Andrew Tate.

A former Big Brother contestant and originally from Luton, Tate has grown his following online with videos boasting of his rich lifestyle.

Together with his brother, Tristan, Tate was arrested by police in Romania, where he now lives, in connection with rape and human trafficking allegations.

St Dunstan’s College, in Stanstead Road, is among other schools across London, that have introduced their own lessons to teach children what is wrong with Tate’s approach to women.

It comes after parents raised concerns about his influence, as reported by the Evening Standard.

The Catford school has created their own lesson plans to ensure his “misogynistic” views do not go unchallenged.

Jonathan Holmes, deputy head academic, said the school plans to talk about Tate with all children in Year 8 and above.

He explained: “Some of our parents have been really proactive, asking for us to address his views in our teaching.”

Older students will look at transcripts of videos Tate has shared and explore why they are “harmful”, he added.

Experts from The RAP Project, which normally runs workshops about rape, consent, and sexual assault for some of London’s top private schools, have been asked to address concerns about Tate.

Deana Puccio, who co-founded The RAP project, said teachers have asked her to directly address the issue of Tate in her school presentations.

Deana said the best way for schools to deal with the issue is to talk about it rather than “cancelling” Tate.

She told the Evening Standard: “I will ask them (students) if they really think their mother is the property of their father… they will say no.

“If you ask them questions in a very calm, logical way they don’t really have answers.

“If you humiliate or berate them they will become defensive… right now these boys don’t feel heard and that is why Andrew Tate is on the rise… we need to get to the heart of why so many young men find him a role model.”

“Andrew Tate’s influence is legitimising their misogynistic comments and behaviour.”
